Bill > HB175

This bill establishes a predetermination review process for occupational licenses and certificates in certain state departments. It allows individuals to request a review of their criminal history to determine if it would disqualify them from obtaining a license or certificate. The departments must consider various factors, such as the applicant's rehabilitation and the impact of the conviction on their ability to perform the duties required. The bill also permits departments to charge a fee of up to $100 for the review, but requires the fee to be waived if the applicant's income is at or below 300% of the federal poverty level.
